The eye is clearly beginning to show on the last frame of the radar...maybe temporary...but it IS there

Less clear here on the Base reflectivity...but you can see where it is also coming back on there

EDIT: I mean her EYE is coming back...not necessarily her strength. Although closing off an eyewall would do wonders for it at this point. either way, still not visible on satellites and latest vortex shows up another to millibars. Keep in mind, most cat 2 have eyes, and this could just be here maturing back to a strong 2

From sat there have been little puffs of convection near the center however that dry air entrainment on the sw-ern side of the storm is pretty much knocking back any attempts Frances is making at strengthening.

If that pocket of dry air moves away from Frances then we could be looking at a problem of intensification as the storm ever so slowly moves nw/wnw-ward.

Are we seeing the same eye flashing in temporarily at the SE tip of Grand Bahama?

If so, it is moving along towards Palm Beach at a slow pace at about 285*...

How do you see the eye in this? I am just not sure what I'm looking at or for. I'm sorry I'm so stupid here. I am trying to learn!
